Hello everyone,

My American fiance and I vacationed in Thailand and fell in love. She wants to learn to cook and I want to learn Muay Thai. We went to Hanoi to apply for the DTV visa and we were both denied within 48 hours with no explanation, they refused to answer any questions, and refused to even meet with us at the embassy in person.

Can anyone offer any advice? We are currently planning on returning to the US in June to re-apply. We're currently on the METV.

Has anyone been refused entry with a e-visa ( tourist)? I ask because when applying the embassy doesn’t look at your passport record. Immigration and embassies don’t seem to be connected. Or are they?

Applied in Manila for DTV(workation thru Upwork

Applied and paid: April 27

Requested additional document: April 28(previous contracts and proof of communication with client)

Requested additional document: April 29 (linkedin profile and diploma)

Embassy asked for my linkedin and diploma. I submitted a letter explaining i dont have a linkedin. So i only submitted my diploma.

Has anyone experienced sending their linkedin profile/diploma?

Anyways, Hoping to getting approved.

Anyone from Singapore 🇸🇬 successfully gotten the DTV and which soft power you have used? Mind to share?

DTV (medical) – how to structure TCM medical certificate for approval?

Hi everyone, I’m planning to apply for a DTV under the medical/wellness category and had a more specific question about documentation.

My case:

- ME/CFS for ~10 years

- Significant improvement only with TCM treatment at ChingLian clinic in Bangkok

- Already completed two shorter treatment visits (Jan + March-Apr)

- Planning a longer 3–6+ month treatment starting in June

Since this is a TCM clinic (not a hospital), I’m wondering how to best structure the medical certificate to improve approval chances.

Questions:

- What should the medical certificate include to be taken seriously by the embassy?

- How detailed should the diagnosis and treatment plan be?

- Is it important to frame it in a more “conventional medical” way?

If anyone has experience with DTV using non-hospital providers, I’d really appreciate your insights 🙏

was proof of funds needed for 3 months or just ending balance in Laos? also what were your time frames from applying until being accepted?
